Richard "Scotty" MacNeish, between 1969 and 1972, led an international team of archaeologists on the Ayacucho Archaeological-Botanical-Project in the south-central highlands of Peru. Among several important archaeological sites identified there, MacNeish and his team excavated the Puente rock shelter. As a part of an ongoing research program aimed to reassess the lithic remains from this endeavor, we re-studied a sample by making diverse kinds of morpho-technological analysis. The remains studied come from the lower strata at Puente, where a radiocarbon assay from layer XIIA yielded a calibrated date of 10,190 to 9555 years BP that the present study identifies, various activities were carried out at the site, mainly related to manufacturing and repairing unifacial and bifacial tools. The artifacts studied are comparable with the lithic remains found in other sites located in the Ayacucho Basin, and with other early evidence from other parts of the south-central Andes.

“…The work of Claudia Rivera Casanovas (2004) in the Cintis valleys of southwestern Chuquisaca including Camargo, Villa Abecia and San Lucas, has been significant as it has involved systematic radiocarbon dating of a wide range of sites containing important ceramic style diversity (Rivera Casanovas, 2011). In collaboration with Sergio Calla Maldonado, they have investigated dozen sites that range from the Archaic to the Inca, but with a stronger focus on the pre-Inca regional cultural dynamics (Rivera Casanovas, 2011;Rivera Casanovas & Calla Maldonado, 2011). More recently, research in Chipihuayco, Bilcapara and other sites of the upper drainage of the Pilcomayo River provide a glimpse into the complexity of early community formation and integration of the southern inter-Andean valleys (Ávila, 2011;Echenique, 2019;Nielsen et al, 2015).…”

A Review of Archaeological and Paleoecological Radiocarbon Dating in Bolivia

Radiocarbon dating is one of the most useful and widely used chronometric techniques available for archaeologists and other paleo-scientists. Although generally used for answering specific research questions, radiocarbon dates from archaeological sites have become increasingly used to reconstruct population change at meso and macro temporal and spatial scales, and Bayesian modeling of locally and regionally available dates is facilitating interrogating the synchronicity, correlation, and interaction among various socioecological variables. Because the results of these meta-analyses largely depend on the available data, comprehensive compilations of radiocarbon dates and their associated information are critically important. Moreover, a thorough assessment of these compilations can reveal research spatiotemporal foci, trends, and biases, which should be considered when meta-analyses are attempted. In this review, based on the recently compiled Bolivian Radiocarbon Database, I provide a general assessment of the temporal, geographic, and thematic interests that have driven archaeological and paleoecological research in Bolivia over the last seven decades. Along with a detailed review of research in three broad geographical regions (Andean highlands, inter-Andean valleys, and tropical lowlands), I encourage researchers interested in meta-analysis to critically consider biases in data compilations by means of increased engagement with local experts and interdisciplinary collaboration.
